Absolute quality
This is a very efficient movie; high quality action scenes with no unnecessarily long car chase scenes, fast, perfectly timed fight sequences (not too fast to the point where they are bordering on boring and silly unrealism) - the comedy is pure gold (not true lies comedy, far better quality with excellent delivery from all cast). These actors work incredibly well together, Aubrey Plaza is excellent as always, Jason Statham is a solid actor as well as sportsman and Hugh Grant, who i never liked in the 90s is one of my new favourites, he did a brilliant job. I'm a product of 80s and 90s tv/movies, i'm not a fan of CGI theme park movies and it takes a lot to make me want to watch a movie again. The days of Forrest Gump, Shawshank, Con Air, Snatch, Braveheart etc etc seem to be long gone but as far as action movies go, this one was done very very well indeed. Highly recommended, don't list to anyone who discredits it just because they did a year in media school and had to analyse Battleship Potemkim once. They wouldn't know a quality movie if it slapped them in the bollocks. - micz81 - 21 December 2023
This is just rubbish, sorry.
Hugh Grant's character - played on the border between funny and scary - is the only thing making this movie somehow entertaining. His presence makes you stick to the screen - just to investigate his intentions and maybe be surprised by his methods of dealing with friends and/or enemies. The rest of the 'pack' is just absolutely below my expectations - even Audrey Plaza's unbelievable comedy talent was wasted here by not creating contexts in the story suitable enough for her to shine in. Jason Statham is Jason Statham. Period. JJ guy is completely forgettable as a character.
And all this mess looks like a cheap knock-off/hybrid of Kingsman, Mission Impossible, Tarantino and others. Full of so called 'nods' or 'tribute scenes' which does not bring anything to the table in terms of story, narrative, climate. Packed with forced unnatural dialogues, sticked to the characters almost as a result of a lottery. If I didn't knew it was Guy Ritchie's movie, I would not even guess in that direction - that's how bloody amateur attempt at entertainment it is.
Avoid paying for seeing this..
